Importing the content to Joomla 2.5

To be honest, I had a hard time finding the download for the importer but was able to see in the menus and also in the Latest Files module.

Go to Components > J2XML Importer

Click the Options button in the top-right corner

Choose the import options for your site:

One of the most important is under the Advanced tab. Make sure that Keep Ids is set to Yes. This is important for several reasons, including that your URLs remain the same.

After you've saved the options, click Choose File in the top-right corner and upload the file that you created earlier.

Click Import.

You'll now get a report on the import, together with any errors.

The message above mentions "User not imported" because this process will also work with users. Repeat exactly the same process as we've just seen, simply login to your Joomla 1.5 and click Export in your User Manager.
